Sleep Problems: This breathing exercise helps
At a young age you certainly do not have the problem yet, but at some point every day comes a day when you can not fall asleep. You turn and turn around in bed, counting sheep, and yet you keep the circling thoughts awake ... There is a breathing exercise that makes me fall asleep within a few minutes. You just have to concentrate a bit and after 9 breaths you sleep peacefully.
A word to explain in advance: one breath = once inhale + once exhale.
Important: take beautiful deep breaths.
- In the first 3 breaths you clearly count in each case the inhalation
- in the next 3 breaths you count in your mind clearly each exhaling
- you do not count on the next 3 breaths (yes, you can, you can tell when 3 breaths are over)
- then again from the beginning ... if you ever get that far
Give it a try, I'm curious if it helps others too.
